Its future, greatnesi will be
the enduring foundations of
bravery and patriotism laid
who for tour long years
virtues on the field of
ceived the brunt of the recent blizzard
ing frost, as predicted, and while the
loss sustained to vegetation was not
so great as predicted It was sufficient
to necessitate considerable replanting
of crops.
A brief summary of damage sustain 1
ed according to reports from different
sections of Sumter county, is as fol
lows:
The magnificent peach crop sustain
ed no Injury whatever.
Young cotton In localities was
killed, while the crop generally
badly damaged but not to the extent
of necessitating replanting.
Corn was severely nipped by the
frost, but will recover.
Vegetable gardens are more or less
injured, but will not haye to be re
planted. Even tomatoes and beans,
growing In tife open gardon. c
caped destruction largely, although
few gardeners here report about naif
the crop killed.
The Fruit Was Protected!
Greatest satisfaction is felt In the
escape of the peach crop hero from
any injury whatever. There aro half
a m'lllon bearing trees In the AmerT
cus territory and all are loaded down
with the finest crop they have ever
borne, and which promises a golden
l.urvest.
Not a poach will drop off as a re
sult of the cold yesterday.
Mr. J. L. Glawson, manager tor the
Ware-Progress Orchad Co.,- owning
bunded thousand trees, brought the
Tlmes-Recoder a pocket full of
poaches as large as hickory nuts and
eactl one pulled yesterday morning
from the Up end of limbs where nn
protected by foliage.
Every peach cut open was of healthy
appearance and evidence no Injury
whatever.
Mr. Glawson Is very positive that
no damage whatever has been sus
tianed by this late frost, and this opin
ion is Held by others of the large or
chard owners. That a bumper crop
will be made In the Amertcus territory
is assured and the fruit will be fine.
Cotton AVIII be Replanted.
That some ]»rtlon of the cotton crop
must be replanted is assured, but the
acreage damaged Is not as great as
at first feared. There will be enough
seed for replanting, as any deficiency
on the farm can readily be supplied
from the stocks of Amcrlcus oil mills
Tho five plan:* ii re will be In posi
tion, no doubt, to supply all demands
for seed.
The fact that the two main crops
—cotton and corn—escaped destruc
tion Is an Immense relief, as bad this
been the case the farmers would have
been put to groat expense and addi
tional labor In replanting, while the
harvest -would have bcea delayed as
well.
Cnnteloupe Crop Is Nipped.
The canteloupe crop, a very consid'
erable one near Amertcus, felt the
effect of the frost yesterday, as did
other tender vegetation.
Mr. E. C. Parker, who has e'ghty
acres In canteloupes, says the plants
are nipped to some extent, but the In
jury Is not very great.
Henry Patterson, the negro murder
er of Capt. W. F. McRae, and. who
was sentenced to be hanged this morn
lng, is granted the usual respite, as
is always done here In murder cases,
and the execution goes over until May
ISthT The only chance at delay left
bpen to Patterson was an appeal to
the prison commission, the usual
"court of last resort," and Patterson
took it at the eleventh hour. While
thi3 usual delay was fully anticipated
Sheriff Feagln nevertheless had pro
ceeded with preparations for hanging
the murderer, and the gallows was
in trim for tho tragedy. A stay of ex
ecution of three weeks Is thus se
cured and Patterson has that much
more time wherein to reflect upon
his atrocious crime and merited pun
ishment.
MRS. P. A. CATCHINGS
DIES AT HOME HERE.
Well-Known Lady of Amor
ims Passes Away.
Mrs. Philip A. Catchlngs, for many
years a resident of Amerlcus and
greatly esteemed among her friends,
died at an early houY yesterday morn
ing at her residence on Brannon av
enue. The end came painlessly and
was due to some heart affliction.
Mrs. Catchlngs had retired /he ev-
Ing previous in her usual good health,
and tho announcement of her
death was a distinct shock to those
near and dear to her.
Mr. Catchlngs was absent from the
city, engaged in his duties as cen
sus enumerator In the county, but
a car sent out for him brought him
to the stricken tame.
Mrs. Catchlngs has resided for along
period of years In this city.
A kind, gentle and much-beloved
Christian woman, sho made and re
tained strong* friendships. Her hus
band and one son, Seymou^Catchings,
now a resident of Cordele, Arvlve her.

PROBABLY REPLANT 25
PER CENT. IN GEORGIA
Sections Report 10 to 50
Per Cent. Damage.
(Special to Tlmes-Recorder.)
Atlanta, Ga., April 27.—Further In
formation Is coming In of damage to
cotton from the recent cold.
Telegrams show that there was lit
tle damage at Montezuma, about ten
cent of cotton planted will have
be re-planted at Cordele and Al
bany,^!) per cent to be re-planted at
Dublin, 40 per cent, to be re-planted
at Columbus. There will be a good
deal of replanting In Alabama.
T. M. Hutchinson, secretary of the
Southern Cottonseed CrusDers' As
sociation, believes from reports that
he has got from 15 to 25 pe» cent, cf
the entire crop must be re-planted.
T. G. Hudson, Georgia’s comm't-
ionser of Agriculture, thinks from 25
to 60 per cent, must be re-planted.
Everything shows that if peaches
have been hurt at all It was In Iso
lated places In North Georgia.
